I live in England, where treatment is funded through the NHS. That might make a difference. Also we are ttc.

# The first step in managing PCOS is to get regular exercise and eat a heart-healthy diet. This can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
# Most women with PCOS can benefit from losing weight. Even losing 10 lb may help get your hormones in balance and regulate your menstrual cycle.
# To control symptoms and lower disease risks, your doctor may prescribe medicines, such as birth control pills or other medicines that can help with symptoms or help you get pregnant.
# It can be hard to deal with having PCOS. If you are feeling sad or depressed, it may help to talk to a counselor or to other women who have PCOS. Ask your doctor about local support groups, or look for an online group.

hey, I have pcos, and going to the hospital in my country is a waste of my time, I have to go to a private gyno, yes you can start treatments even if you don't have a period. I am 19 and had pcos from much younger, I just got diagnois with the disease in April of this year, due to ttc for a year. this is what you'll have to expect when getting a treatment.
1. your Dr would take a blood test or a virgina ultrsound to see how severe your pcos is. With the u/s they are looking to see how much cycts are located on the ovaries and to see if its a normal size, its also checking your uterus linning, also they might give you a pap smear, remember it is always good for a ladies exspecailly with pcos to get a pap smear because we are high risk with cervical cancer due to lack of periods.The blood test determains your hormones level
2. Then they ask you about your family history and about your menstral cycles.
3 After all this is done he then would perscibe a pill call provera to take, I took mines for 5 days some takes theirs for 10, in a week the latest you should expect a period.
4. most dr.'s perscribe a pill call clomid for you if you are ttc, and some does metformin. I did clomid but it only made my ovaries infected (they were larger then normal).
5. If you didn't ovulate on clomid they would upper the dose, but you are only allowed to take clomid or 6 months, you are suppose to see results with in 3months.
I hope this help you, remember try eatin healthy, if you are overweight try losing a few lbs would be good also. Baby dust to you

hi there,
i have pcos as well the first thing the gyno will try is clomid its very successful, if you dont really have regular periods (niether do i) they will give you something to induce a period then you'll take the clomid, there's also the option that your gyno might perscribe you metformin as well at the same time.
might be a good idea for you to ask your dr about going on metfortmin b4 you go back to hospital, (supposed to be good for pcos, erm theres also other stuff like weight loss (which is really hard with pcos (i know!) iui is on the nhs as well and ivf depending.
lots of women with pcos only need clomid, hope you get lucky xx

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/vhPA3
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

You will most likely get Provera to get a new cycle started.
Ultrasounds to check for cysts and medications to make you ovulate and most likely Progesterone supplements.
You'll probably be put on the Depo/Metformin combo or one of them individually.

the hospital? Is that a joke? I have Pcos and was diagnosed when I was 15 my ovaries were COVERED with cysts. All my gyn gave me was birth control pills and it worked wonders for me. Youmight have to check your thyriod as well it is all related. I never heard of a hospital visit unless you have one huge cyst that might have to be removed.

Hi, i have had p.c.o.s for over 15 years. Are you trying for a baby? - if you are then they will start trying to regulate your periods so that you ovulate.
